A little boy asked his mother "why are you crying?"
"Because I’m a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His mom just hugged him and said, "and you never will"
Later the little boy asked his father, "why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to god; and when god got on the phone, he asked, "god, why do women cry so easily?"
God said: "when i made the woman she had to be special. i made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort"
"I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children"
"I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining”
"I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly"
"I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart"
"I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly"
"And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see: the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair."
"The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart --- the place where love resides."

女人的眼泪
一个小男孩问他妈妈：“你为什么哭呢？”妈妈告诉他：“因为我是女人。”
男孩说：“我不明白。”
妈妈拥抱他然后告诉他：“你永远不会明白的。”
过后男孩问他爸爸，“为什么妈妈会毫无理由的哭泣呢。”
爸爸回答道：“所有女人都这样，毫无理由的哭。”
小男孩长大了，长成了一个男人,但他仍然不明白女人为什么哭泣。
最后他打电话给上帝，上帝接通电话后，男人问到：“上帝，为什么女人这么容易哭泣呢。”
上帝回答说：“当初我在创造女人的时候就让她们很特别，让她们的肩膀坚强到可以承担整个世界的重量，让她们温柔到可以给与安抚。”
“我让她的内心坚强，坚强到可以忍受分娩的痛苦，可以忍受自己孩子的多次拒绝。”
“ 我给与她耐心，让她在别人放弃的时候仍然继续坚持，毫不怨言的照顾自己的家人渡过疾病和疲劳。”
“我给与她感情，让她在任何情况下都会爱自己的孩子，即使孩子严重伤害她。”
“我给与她坚强，让她包容丈夫的过错，保护他的心。”
“我给与她智慧，让她知道一个好丈夫是绝不会伤害他的妻子的，但有时我也会考验她支持自己丈夫的决心和力量。”
“最后，我给与她眼泪，这是她独有的，只要她愿意，任何时候可以。”
“你看，女人的漂亮并不是她穿的衣服，她所保持的体型，或者她梳头的方式。”"
“女人的漂亮必须从她的眼睛中去看，因为那是她心灵的窗户和爱居住的地方。”
